You have chosen to use a circle with phycsicsBody. An SKPhysicsBody object is used to add physics simulation to a node. When a scene processes a new frame, it performs physics calculations on physics bodies attached to nodes in the scene. These calculations include gravity, friction, and collisions with other bodies. After the scene completes these calculations, it updates the positions and orientations of the node objects.

You have also chosen to use SKActions, when using the actions to move a body such changes don't go through the physics engine, indeed usually you could add unwanted actions and unexpected events as "bouncy lags".

So, if you're using physics to move a body, you shouldn't use move actions, apply an impulse or force, or set it's velocity directly
